What This Recall Means

Component

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:COOLING UNIT AND LINES

What Happened
The transmission cooling system in your Audi Q8 helps keep the transmission running smoothly. There's a potential problem with the weld on the oil pipe that supplies the system.
Risk if Unfixed
If the oil pipe leaks, transmission fluid could spill onto the road, making it slippery. This could cause your vehicle to lose traction, which might lead to a crash.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will check the transmission oil pipe and replace it if it's not properly welded. This repair is completely free, and you'll be notified when it's time to bring your vehicle in.
